Dee,I am not trying to resurrect the R-13 designation discussion. Lisa's remark was that if the serial number was 33000 then it wasn't an R-13. This remark is totally incorrect. I agree with Mark. The clarinet should be considered on it's own merits. There are many R-13s that may not be as good as that "old Buffet" and there may be others that are better. In any case, the fact that the "old Buffet is not polycylindrical and therefore will not sound like a post 1955 R-13. According to Mr. Swiney's message, Mr. Moening stated that the bad bore Buffets were SN 39000 to 41000 and wre eventually labeled "Academy Model.
